Tongue piercing has a long history of being associated with religious and cultural symbolism. In recent years it has grown popular among teenagers and young adults. Several complications may be associated with this practice. Infection of the piercing site is a common complication, which can result in abscess formation or formation of granuloma over the period of time. The management of this complication is always removal of the tongue stud and surgical debridement of the infected site.
